Editing with a purpose for newborn composites
Newborn portraits have been around for many generations. There is a fascination with capturing the very first few minutes and days of life and being a newborn portrait photographer
has quickly grown into one of the most popular types of photography in the market. In my class we talk about taking newborn portraiture into the fine art realm and creating masterpieces and one-of-a-kind images for parents that they can cherish for many generations. Your only limitation is your imagination and we will discuss how to find ideas, how to safely capture newborn images for the composite, how to capture the digital background, how to market these images to your clients, and how to sell them to your clients. A solid foundation in
photoshop helps as we discuss how to manipulate images in photoshop for a composited image. All of the basics of this workflow are covered, from capturing a newborn's portrait, to
capturing the digital background (or learning where to find the perfect digital background) and finishing with putting it all together in post-production. We will finish with learning about where to gather props, the best vendors out there that support this type of work, and even some conversation on competing with these images. I can't wait to share the fun and exciting world that I find myself in daily with you.
